Corinthians hire analyst from English giants to boost global reach | OneFootball

Corinthians has finalized the arrival of Gabriel Maciel Corrêa to join the football department. He will take on the role of international market analyst, a new position within the club created with the aim of expanding the team’s operations outside Brazil. The confirmation was made by executive Marcelo Paz after the open training session held this Thursday.

In this new role, Gabriel’s main responsibilities will be to establish connections abroad, explore new market opportunities, exchange technical knowledge, and contribute to strengthening the Corinthians brand internationally. The idea is to expand the club’s presence beyond national borders.

On a day-to-day basis, he will work at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, in partnership with the first team as well as the Under-17 and Under-20 squads, in addition to making trips abroad. His hiring was the result of alignment between the club’s football and financial departments.

Despite operating in the international market, the focus of the role will not be on searching for reinforcements, but rather on increasing the value of and negotiating the club’s players. The objective is to expand sales possibilities and generate revenue, something considered essential given the debt approaching R$ 3 billion. Another important point will be creating partnerships that allow the youth teams to take part in competitions outside the country.

Gabriel holds a degree in Communications from PUC-SP, an MBA in the Football Industry from the University of Liverpool, and a specialization in sports marketing from FGV. Throughout his career, he has worked at companies such as Nike and New Balance.

On the international stage, he worked mainly as a scout, monitoring players in Latin America for clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United, and Nottingham Forest. His most recent job was at Neom FC, where he held the position of head of recruitment.

The arrival of the new professional comes amid recent changes in Corinthians’ football department. The club went through changes with the departures of Dorival Júnior and Renan Bloise. To replace them, Fernando Diniz was announced as head coach and Júlio César as football manager.
